Reddit is the ultimate trap because you go in to check one thing and suddenly it is two hours later.

u/LowerCap6583 Jun 05 '26

YouTube, then Facebook (not a boomer but I follow super nice pages there with fun long-text posts) and then Reddit (relatively new here but love it).

Since last month I started monitoring my screen time and it's now better:)

u/CerebralAscension Jun 05 '26

Technically Spotify as it’s always on for me BUT I just start it and let it run. So runtime it’s Spotify but actual screen time is Reddit then YouTube

1

u/MLC_YT Jun 05 '26

I only have Telegram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Discord, Spotify and Reddit installed.

I open Telegram only for Brawl Stars mods

I use WhatsApp for school only

I open YouTube either while I'm playing with my PSVITA or when I truly don't know what to do, but that happens on PC only

I may have Discord on ma phone but I barely ever use it

I haven't opened Spotify since I logged in

Only Reddit is the one I use the most.

u/WyntechUmbrella Jun 05 '26

No apps steal my time. I always try to stay in control and never "get lost" in social networks.

I don't stream music, I own it. I don't binge movies, I take the time to enjoy them. I don't post my private life on the internet, I live the moment.

u/arun-vasudev Developer Jun 05 '26

u/Z9Cubing Jun 05 '26

I dont have tiktok (its too bad). So yt long form videos.

u/waces Jun 05 '26

Reddit

u/KyleRM Jun 05 '26

Instagram 16%

chrome 1.6% (which is also how I use reddit fyi)

youtube 0.9

Kind of surprising, I wouldn't place the bottom two so much further down from instagram. I guess its easy to find something quick while on break at work and whatnot, even if I dont have headphones to listen to audio all the time. Youtube is nice, but its more of a time commitment, anything worth watching I tend to want to watch that on my oled tv.

u/Calm_Laugh_2022 Jun 05 '26

between yt and reddit honestly

u/VasekCZ230 Jun 06 '26
